Urbanisation Restructures but Does Not Reduce Freshwater Pond Biodiversity

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Urbanisation is a dominant driver of landscape change leading to widespread displacement, degradation and fragmentation of habitat for native species and numerous studies have documented loss of biodiversity in response. However, most studies focus on a small range of taxa (e.g., vertebrates, plants), leaving many other groups poorly ...

The Recovery of Predators Modulates Prey Community Organization Through Concomitant Changes in Aquatic Trophic Networks

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Restoring predator populations can generate cascading effects on their prey by reshaping ecosystem food webs, yet its consequences for prey community organization and multi‐trophic dynamics remain poorly understood. We aimed to evaluate how native predator recovery shapes prey biodiversity, assembly processes, and trophic dependencies, and

Tracking Dehydration Reactions and Fossil Fluid Flux in Shear Zones Using Garnet Microstructures

Journal of Metamorphic Geology, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 394-414, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Shear zones act as preferential fluid pathways during prograde and retrograde stages of metamorphism. Nonetheless, we still have limited knowledge of the drainage and permeability of natural settings. The preserved signature of fluid in exhumed rocks provides insights into fluid flow during burial and exhumation.

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 6, Page 950-971, June 2026.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Widespread Variation in Retinochrome Spectral Absorbance Across Scallop Phylogeny

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 11, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Vision is a two‐step process, including phototransduction initiated by a retinal‐bound opsin photopigment, and subsequent photopigment regeneration wherein the inactive state is restored. Because retinal isomerization, or changing of the molecular structural conformation, drives the activation of opsin photopigments, the reverse process is a ...
